My oldest son is unathletic at Hiland. Participates in no sports. Tall kid too. He is into the arts. Mainly music. A member of the band. No one has threatened him with transfer. Nor would he want to. Music boosters have a lot of support at Hiland.
My daughter who graduated last year did participate in girls soccer. She was a 4yr starter so I guess you could say she was athletic. She could score several goals in a game. But I was never more proud of her than her senior year performance in the musical (Beauty and the Beast). She starred as Belle. Sold out crowds just to see the musical. She has a beautiful voice and was surrounded by a talented crew (not of the athletic kind). The roar of the crowd at the end of the show was every bit as invigorating as the roar on the court or the field.
I love high school sports today. It was a big part of my life growing up. Played ball under Perry Reese. Yeah it was about winning. But winning in life was ultimate goal. That is the goal Hiland and other high schools strive for. The only well known "professional" to ever come from Hiland was a product of the arts program. Your comment strikes me as very immature. I hope you are still in high school. Otherwise you are an old man exercising your bitterness on innocent youths. Every school has its sports clowns. They are the minority. Your comments lead me to believe you may be one of them.
